does it help swelling?

After wearing Tommie Copper knee sleeve for a week, the swelling went down and the pain became tolerable.

The way this product is designed you get compression equally at the ankle, heel and arch, which helps greatly if you suffer from plantar faciitis. I am not certain how that compression will feel if you have swelling, but I guess it would give some relief from the swelling if it isn't too tight...

It does slightly massage an ankle but the entire unit is not worth the price, in my opinion. It does not go around the leg when it is swollen, so what's the point? My husband recently needed to use it so we tied it on with string since the velcro wouldn't match up and it helped a little. I suppose it is better than nothing but I've been massaging his legs and feet by hand and it's about the same. Remember, if you buy this, you cannot return it.

These sockes are like dress socks and I read that u can use them at rest and while walking and daily activities...like my husband does. I don't see why you couldn't . I think it would help the swelling and from your legs becoming for fatigued and get better results from the compression. My hubbie sometimes wears regular socks over the compression socks to help reduce any friction. It's up to your comfort level

I have found that it does. However it may depend on the type of muscle injury you may have. I use it a lot for my arthritis and fibromyalgia pain. Over all I would recommend it for almost all types of muscle pain,

For me, it gives support--without all the sweating that the other sleeves create. I play basketball with it-- I have arthritis, no longer have knee injury, so can't say that it would relieve pain from that. When I started wearing it, I was recovering from injury, and it seemed to help. I wear it now, for support. It is not a brace---

I have used the foam roller for that purpose and it does give a bit of relief. It helps stretch out the tight lower lumbar muscles. It does help

I don't know the reason about why you need this arm compression for. But, my sister needed this product because she has arm lymphedema from cancer surgery. So, this arm compression promotes lymphatic flow by moving fluid in the proper direction as well as treatment of swelling of the arm. My sister use this product everyday, and it really helps her arm from swelling.

The bauerfreind website gives the measurements above and below the knee. The measurements are right on for each size. It is not a tight fit so it should work for a mild degree of swelling. If u have a lot of swelling u might need one size larger

If it is an inflammation then I think it should help to some extent because this is an anti - inflammatory ointment. If it doesn't, the manufacturer offers a money back guarantee. I hope it will help you if you decide to get it. Best Wishes!

I believe it would be good for that. However, it depends on how severe your condition is. I have found that it keeps things in place very well and comfortably, and it kept my knee from hurting during physical activity. Also if you wear it during physical activity it will significantly reduce the chances of getting water on the knee, and n last a lot longer without fatigue or pain. If you find that you need to wear it all of the time, I would recommend seeing a doctor.

I'm sorry, but I wouldn't know. I'm not sure it relieves pain at all I bought the device for my sister in another state, and she has not had anything good to say about it.

Only if it feels comfortable. Typically swelling happens when you're on your feet all day and is relieved when laying down. The compression won't do much for you while you're asleep. But should be put on first thing in the morning.

Yes! Sprains, bruises, sore muscles, cracked ribs, whatever. I haven't yet found anything that DMSO doesn't help. It reduces pain, swelling and inflammation.

I think not, because the media makes a stress on the foot and that should not help your swelling, I recommend you consult your doctor

No this machine doesn't do that. It's just used to reduce inflammation and speed healing.

I don't really know if it will help your particular situation. I know that when I'm suffering from knee strain, it makes my knee feel snug and warm, which seems to lessen the discomfort over time. It's not a miracle cure, but it helps. Good luck to you!
